@caitief Are agents less excited about other manuscripts they've requested if they've just signed another client? Thank you! #askagent.@ElissaDickey I know I'm not! It doesn't matter if I just signed someone, if I love something, I will go after it! #askagent

How does #AskAvonBks handle multi-genre books like this? (PS @peggylcarpenter keep me posted - sounds awesome!) twitter.com/PeggyLCarpente…Individually! It depends completely on the story. @JenTheEditor @PeggyLCarpenter #NaNoWriMo #AskAvonBks

Editor
Most importantly: 4) Is the ending satisfying? #AskAvonBks #NaNoWriMo

@FuseLiterary #AskFuse Okay to re-query an agent with an MS that's undergone extensive edits (cut in half, name change, rewrites). Thx! (:.@SteveWestenra Depends upon the reason 4 rejection, if any. Usually not, though, so best to get it right the first time. #AskFuse

@JenTheEditor Good question. It really depends on the person. I'd give yourself at least a weekend... #AskAvonBks #NaNoWriMo
